Watching ESPN and seeing the set up on the USS Carl Vinson, really pumped to see this game.

Me too...I was wondering about contingencies for weather, but I guess playing in San Diego ensures a high probability of good weather.

They play underneath in a hanger if there is poor weather.

I heard about this contingency as well but questioned it because if I remember right (and the article I read was a little while ago) with the bad weather location being in the hanger...they potentially lose hundreds of seats....what would happen to those ticket holders? Refunds I guess...but this would be the type of game that if I lost my seat to bad weather...I wouldn't care about a refund...I would be flat out ticked off.

But then again...when in San Diego, weather is 90% gorgeous...

Can't they just sail away from bad weather?!

I'm curious how the wind will affect things.

I'm excited but afraid that my Spartans are about to run into a buzzsaw.

Before anyone judges us too harshly, let me remind you that UNC returns all five, future-NBA pick starters and MSU is playing with six new faces on scholarship.  Let's hope a gentle breeze is a great equalizer.  Give me two years and Jabari Parker and then we're talking about Izzo's second national championship.  Not tonight, though.
